The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Consensus is to keep on the basis that the sources now in the article show the concept to be notable enough for retention. (non-admin closure) clpo13(talk) 19:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While the expression "people watching" is certainly very common, there does not seem to be a definition beyond the meaning of the two words. The sources provided here are more like examples and do not define the concept well enough for an encyclopedia article. Besides the sources have little to do with what is claimed in the article. Skylark777 (talk) 12:41, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There's stack of books with this title including Peoplewatching: The Desmond Morris Guide to Body Language; People Watching: Social, Perceptual, and Neurophysiological Studies of Body Perception; People Watching; Everybody's Guide to People Watching, &c. Andrew D. (talk) 17:52, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete Keep Most of the books mentioned are about Body language, certainly a notable topic. However the article seems to be talking about a recreational activity, and this is the way I've heard the expression used. I'm not sure it goes beyond: "People watching is watching people."

Keep Deletion is biased The name of Rehan is also included in book published and can be published on demand by Books LLC see here [1]. Nannadeem (talk) 17:25, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you had actually checked the Books LLC article, you would have known that this "publisher" copies articles from Wikipedia and sells those as books. You should never use Books LLC as a source here. - HyperGaruda (talk) 19:48, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Now my point is clear. One can earn through WP deleted articles(+talks). But general people cannot receive info without cost. What a notability and reliable source is one discussing. I am afraid of partnership as well. Nannadeem (talk) 20:16, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Allow me to break up my argument into the following:
  1. Google Books: 7 hits, 6 of which are copies of Wikipedia content (=not a reliable source). That 1 other hit is his name in a credits list (=not enough coverage). Ergo: fails WP:GNG.
  2. Google News: 5 hits, 4 of which mention someone else with the same name (=irrelevant sources). That other 1 hit is the poet Rehan Azmi mentioned in a list of attendees of a funeral (=not enough coverage). Ergo: fails WP:GNG.
  3. Note about using Dawn as a source: this "newspaper" claims that Rehan Azmi is mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as the 7th speediest writer of poetry. Record for being the 7TH, seriously? Looking at the wikipage history, this dubious "fact" was present since the beginning in 2009, while Dawn published its article in May 2012. Seems like they copied Wikipedia without actually checking Guinness (he really does not show up there when searching for "Rehan Azmi", you can check for yourself). In other words, I doubt that Dawn is a reliable newspaper.
  4. Remaining sources (al-qayim.tv and shiamultimedia.com) are even more WP:QUESTIONABLE.
Total verdict: there are is not enough reliable information available for us to write a reliably sourced article, thus Rehan Azmi fails the general notability guideline and this article should be deleted. - HyperGaruda (talk) 19:48, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is your personal view, not the Wikipedia guidelines, does not work here. We have to follow the rules; there are not any policies that restrict such intentions that you suggest. Read the policies before nominating for deletion.Justice007 (talk) 22:19, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat off-topic theory about quality variation in Dawn
@GorgeCustersSabre: I was also quite surprised that there was such low quality content in one of the oldest English-language newspapers of Pakistan. But I think I have a theory about that. Recently I've been cleaning up Mai Safoora, which referred to only 1 source: DAWN. I found it somewhat awkward that the news article started with what seems to be an advert and the rest of the text did not seem to be written by a professional journalist. Then I checked the author: "From the newspaper", the same "author" who published the article I had linked earlier. After browsing through "From the newspaper"'s articles, it occurred to me that this specific "author" is probably where readers' letters are sent to and indeed many of its articles are signed at the bottom by people who clearly are no journalists, like here. In all, I would say that Dawn's articles are only reliable sources if they have been published by non-random authors, such as this article by Atika Rehman & Ali Akbar and this one by the "The Newspaper's Staff Reporter". We should definitely be careful with articles published by "From the newspaper". - HyperGaruda (talk) 18:30, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, HyperGaruda. That's very interesting. I'll take a look through a sample of Dawn articles. Best regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 18:35, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This page was deleted in January 2014 as an example of WP:TOOSOON, with no independent citations that verify that this is a notable rivalary. Over 3 months ago I made a request asking for comment about why the article was recreated, and had no responses. The article still has no citations that display any notability, it has no enduring historical significance, no widespread national or international impact, has no in-depth coverage beyond a typical AFL game and nothing exists that changes the admin decision to delete it. This article should be G4 speedy deleted, and salted to prevent recreation, as this article is a non-encyclopaedic, synthetic marketing gimmick.

Per WP:NEOLOGISM. The article has already been through two AfDs (deleted the first time and redirected to Ban (law) the second) and a deletion review (which upheld the decision). I would also be open to the idea of merging and redirecting it to Ban (law) (once again) or Block (Internet), though if we were to go that route, I would lean towards the latter article. Graham (talk) 06:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Block (Internet) or delete. It's imperfect, but Block (Internet) is pretty much the same thing. This seems more applicable to Wiktionary or Urban Dictionary. It surely gets used in reliable sources, but so do lots of other phrases. Merely being used doesn't make a neologism notable. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:52, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect back to Block (Internet). Seeing how the sourcing remains the same as before, the article has not been significantly expanded to show notability or warrant a split. It seems a section at most in the Block article would be sufficient for the size of content in question. I am unclear why the article was restored after the AfD otherwise. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:21, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well aside from the fact that consensus is that teams in that league are inherently notable, two seconds on google shows:
  1. this
  2. this
  3. and this for coverage of the start of the club which is more than adequate for content. Fenix down (talk) 17:10, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LOCAL coverage. Fine. But again, just because other teams at this level are notable does not mean that all teams at this level are notable. You've all drunk the kool aide and have lost the capacity to think independently and critically. WP:GNG must be met not some esoteric concept that they should be notable so we will say that they are. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You might want to have another look at WP:LOCAL as that is an essay on places, not organisations. It does however contain a quote from the guideline WP:N that states: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The sources provided above are reliable, independent sources providing significant coverage of a club that plays in a league, the participants in which are eligible for national competition. you initial deletion rationale is fatally flawed, there is no guideline, nor any wider consensus that full professionalism is a benchmark for club notability.

  • Speedy keep, then trout nominator with a really big slimy trout: This article, on what looks like a very interesting and quite possibly significant piece of Art Nouveau architecture, was nominated for deletion four minutes after it was posted. That is just not acceptable. Let the author do his/her work first. Put it on your watchlist and get back to it a week later.

@Hegvald: That's very odd. I did a search for the building's name and there weren't any sources. How could this have happened? The sources Oakshade gave didn't appear in the search either. Anyway, once both users have replied here I'm going to withdraw the nomination. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It happened because "Sterner's Studio" is just a rough translation of the native French title so as most or all the sources are in French it's hardly, if at all, going to show up in searches. --Oakshade (talk) 16:43, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - An occupier or an architect of a building in Belgium not having in English is not proper rationale of a building being not notable. Doing an English title search of a topic with a different native language title is not the best way to perform WP:BEFORE either. The Brussels Times calls the building "striking." [2] The Ministere de la Region de Bruxelles-Capitale has an extensive report on the building.[3] Nominating an article within four minutes of article-creation isn't helpful to anyone. --Oakshade (talk) 07:32, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer and animal trainer, making no especially strong claim of notability for either endeavour. As written, this literally just asserts that she exists, and cites mostly primary sources for the fact — the closest thing here to a reliable source is a blurb which is not nearly substantive enough to get her over WP:GNG if it's the article's only independent source. As always, a person does not gain an automatic entitlement to have a Wikipedia article just because it's possible to verify that she exists — it takes reliable source coverage to get an article, but not nearly enough of that has been shown here.

These songs do have Historical significance in Canadian Music and relevancy. The CHEER Music Pool Chart was reporting at a time when (which has link to verify its existence) this genre of music was being suppressed. It was a pioneer chart reporting rap/urban music in Canada in its infancy. The artists on the chart that surround MC Shadow are undisputable international music & entertainment icons. They are respected and notable pioneers in the US created music form. The fact that this Canadian artist in his teens was ranked alongside these artists that were already established is remarkable and 'encyclopeic' in spirit and in content! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldschoolmc (talkcontribs) 02:21, 3 December 2015 (UTC) Get Loose Crew Song is also, significant to the Canadian Music Genre and the genre as the artists historic significance within Canada and Globally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldschoolmc (talkcontribs) 02:26, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think Maestro Fresh Wes, Dream Warriors, MCJ and Cool G and Devon, who all got onto actual wikinotable IFPI-certified charts, would be fascinated to hear that this "CHEER Music Pool Chart" (a private service of a membership organization for club DJs, not certified by any chart licensing agency or covered by any reliable sources besides itself) was the only chart a Canadian hip hop song could possibly have appeared on in that era. And what's "encyclopedic in spirit and in content" is reliable source coverage, of which exactly none has been shown here, not opinion-based assertions of how "remarkable" you personally think any unsourced accomplishment may have been. And if you think I'm being dismissive of the genre, you might want to check the edit history on Canadian hip hop to see who originally created it in the first place, and has been the single most frequent editor of it since. I'm fully aware of the barriers to mainstream attention that have often plagued Canadian hip hop, but it isn't Wikipedia's job to rectify that imbalance ourselves, if we have to lean on unreliable sources, assertions of private personal knowledge whose accuracy we have no way of verifying because they aren't sourced at all, and/or non-notable record charts to do it.

  • Keep - as the winner of national pageant. Additionally there was a national scandal regarding this pageant; Tamar was originally third and then the winner and runner-up were disqualified as they both lied about being married and one of them also lied about having a criminal record.[4] МандичкаYO 😜 08:36, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - per WP:ATD, the policy (w/ emphasis added in bold) is "If an article on a notable topic severely fails the verifiability or neutral point of view policies, it may be reduced to a stub, or completely deleted by consensus at WP:AfD."

  • Chicago is an internationally famous global city, which is the rarefied "elite" class of cities in which we do accept the city council as an office that satisfies WP:NPOL — while it's certainly true that not all of her colleagues actually have articles yet, by far the majority do. The article definitely needs some improvement, I won't argue with that — but it already isn't entirely unsourced, further sourceability is definitely attainable, and a valid claim of notability is present. Keep and flag for improvement. Bearcat (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I think any modern Chicago alderman would satisfy the GNG with ease. (And even for 19th century aldermen, I would bet that significant material exists in print.) Victor Grigas has already shared some of the sources that are available in this specific case. A proper article on the political history of Chicago would be too broad to include biographies on any individual aldermen, so a merge is not a good idea.

References don't support notability. Currently all that's in the article is a bunch of first-party accounts from Youtube and social media. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colin Moriarty specifically the comment by User:czar. Peter Rehse (talk) 10:25, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note that articles are primarily decided based on whether the topic is notable in Wikipeda terms, that is, meets WP:GNG criteria - multiple, reliable, independent, in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. While being influential/famous presumes notability, it is the existence of sources that determines so on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has to be verifiable and that is done by sourcing. Nothing to do with "deserving" or any other measure. Deletion arguments that do not provide or dispute such sources are typically not relevant or accounted for. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 23:35, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What Jules is getting at is that discussions on Wikipedia are not votes and are considered in terms of arguments. In this case, the only really relevant argument is whether Wikipedia's notability criteria are met - multiple, reliable, independent, in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. Saying "keep" or "delete" without basing this on Wikipedia's policies/guidelines is otherwise pointless. Whether you have heard of him or believe he deserves a page is irrelevant. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 21:41, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do Not Delete just because a road comic doesn't get high profile publicity shouldn't be a reason to discredit my Stand Up career here on Wikipedia! Yes my two movie roles are not huge box office films but, they are still work that I have done in film. You have Jon Caparulo on Wikipedia and he was a doorman at the Comedy Store when I was performing Stand Up there. I don't get it, why so adamant to delete my article???

  • Comment: I would have liked to see a fuller nomination; Indian subjects can be difficult for the rest of us. At first glance this looks like one of those impressive south Indian temple towers from centuries ago -- but if I understand it correctly, this is actually a geographically displaced modern replica of the Venkateswara Temple,[15] something akin to a Las Vegas Eiffel tower. It could still be notable according to WP:GNG (if there are better sources out there), but it can hardly be important in itself. It is probably better to just mention it with a sentence or two within some other article. --Hegvald (talk) 06:49, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
discoveredindia.com doesn't seem to be much a reliable source to believe on. The temple is definitely not some centuries old one, but could be a scaled down replica. But had it been a replica it would have received some press coverage at inaugural or even while in the making. Honestly I feel, this claim of it being a replica is just a poor OR as many south-Indian temples show similar architecture styles and layouts. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:13, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:JussiJankulovski (creator, SPA) with the following rationale "Added sources from Econsultancy and York Press." Neither helps much; all the sources present and all I can find are niche/local, trade journals, or straight press-releases, as well as mentions in passing - primarily about a store opening somewhere.

I think there is enough here for a very short page or possibly just a redirection to a merged JD Sports. I don't think it is so unbelievable that someone might look for information about the brand and ownership, and I think there is enough notability to do that.

A complete WP:COATRACK, there seems to be only two sources which make passing mentions of this so called "entity", nothing more. It survived two AFD's simply due to the fact that no one bothered to ask for sources and the argument "OH there are a lot of sources, I just cannot link them right now" was considered to be enough. The hilarious thing is that the entire wikipedia article about this "state" does not mention the state. This is like the article about "Taliban" not using the word "Taliban" in the entire article except the lede. This should be a SNOW for delete to be frank. Furthermore, I see from previous AFD discussions that not a single editor who voted for keep took the time to present any of his sources, they were just commenting saying "Oh there are a lot of reliabel sources out there". So this time, anyone who votes keep should be kind enough to include the links to sources which discuss this topic in depth. Otherwise such a comment appears to be mere words without any merit.

Keep Before moving on to the content, I think the question here is whether there is any legitimacy/notability in the term. It seems to me that there are quite a number of books which use this phrase which could be considered to be reliable sources. These include this book and this book, both from 2013. There seem to be a fair number of others too, some apparently reporting that the previous President Musharraf negotiated a peace accord with them in 2006.
I can't really see a problem with the content, providing it is improved with better references. JMWt (talk) 09:00, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The main issue is the lack of notability. Upon a web search, there is clearly confusion between "Rupert the Bear" (an unreleased album) and "Rupert the Bear and the Frog Song." The guideline for unreleased material setup by WP:Music suggests that if this was a scrapped album by the Paul McCartney, then it belongs on his main page, and not a independent article. However, as I can imagine, there would be a few editors that would object. // Posted by larsona (Talk) // 03:06, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Fails notability per WP:Band. The article makes a big deal about this band making the finals of a competition, though in the end it got 10th place. I also feel there's a conflict of interest with the page's author. If anything this should be a redirect to Blue Springs High School which right now is a redirect itself.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completely useless list. Fraught with typographical and stylistic errors and comes nowhere near the scope of what this article should include, namely being hundreds if not thousands of entries longer. Even if it were an accurate and full list it would add nothing to the encyclopedia, but as it is not even that, it is less than useless. JesseRafe (talk) 01:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep more than satisfies WP:GNG and WP:BLPCAT. The history of Jews in New York City is a well-known part of American culture.--Prisencolin (talk) 06:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A "strong" keep? Did you read the article or just see the title? This was very recently created and only edited by a few editors who have very few edits among them and almost every entry has flaws in style or substance. And the article comes nowhere near the scope of its intended topic, just seems like a vanity page/project for the User:Ethanjesse who has already blanked this page. JesseRafe (talk) 06:47, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article is very relevant, your argument doesn't have any reasoning to delete it. New York is one the most largely populated Jewish areas in the world. As this list shows, there are also many famous people. I also worked very hard on creating, researching, editing, and writing this page. It took me 8 weeks to create this. This is one of my first Wikipedia creates, and I don't think this should be deleted.

How is this article "useless"? This lists over 70 famous people from New York City. This article is error free and accurate.

Comment User:EthanDobres (above unsigned) is unambiguously the same user as User:Ethanjesse given their short contribution history and significant overlap. This is the second time this user has interfered with this proceeding. JesseRafe (talk) 21:38, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Topical comment The article is useless, for the following reasons: It is not an article it is a list. As such it is wp:listcruft and has no substantive merit. While the assertion that it "lists over 70 famous people from New York City" may be true - why does that matter? There are over a hundred thousand famous people from NYC. And tens of thousands of them are Jewish. Thus this article fails to achieve what it sets out to do, and why should it even try to do that? What purpose does an endless serve? Should this be converted into an endless list of thousands of entries? What is the encyclopedic value of that? As to whether it is "error free" or/and "accurate" that is patently false. Ethan Jesse Dobres, since you are one person, please learn how to use capital letters. I see that you actually are 11 years old, not merely someone who writes like one. This article, much like the Mandel Brothers piece seem to be unambiguous vanity pieces written by someone just for the sake of writing one. They are unencyclopedic and both have a tenuous grasp on basic English sentence structure and punctuation/capitalization norms. JesseRafe (talk) 22:10, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep at least as far as I can see. New York City certainly has a notable Jewish population and history. On the face of it, I'm not seeing why this list is "less than useless" and not a viable list per Category:Lists of American Jews and the underpopulated main List of American Jews. The nominator's argument that is useless, less than useless, completely useless and why does it matter etc just doesn't add up to a compelling argument, for me. As for the concern that this list could grow to thousands of names, WP:LISTPEOPLE does provide parameters for how people are included in standalone lists. And of course WP:NOTPAPER applies. Now, as with all lists and categories of people by religion we'd need to be careful that we're not adding names where Jewishness is not cited reliably in the article. And the sock puppetry is a concern. But I don't see a compelling reason to delete. I don't agree that Wikipedia:Listcruft applies in this case, in fact, the nominated list would seem to be a valid example of a standalone list according to that short essay. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:07, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Yes, of course New York and its Jewry are well established. And there already are articles aplenty on the topic. This adds nothing of value, is not even close to the scope that is necessary for the topic; it is poorly written and researched and cited. It is obviously an 11-year-old's vanity project just so he could say "I made an article on Wikipedia", which is exactly what his defense of the deletion was. Many of the entries are not from New York in the first place.
  • I see well if the list is so fundamentally flawed, then I guess WP:TNT could apply. I have to say I don't think we should be using terms like "11-year-old's vanity project." There are people of all ages who are creating content here because they find it rewarding and we should not be singling out minors for scorn when they do that. That said, I see he has been blocked and I've removed my keep !vote, though if someone wanted to recreate such a list later I think it could be a very valid ist.

  • Comment: Getting nominated for a TedxAmsterdam Award isn't very difficult to do, since it seems like all you need to do is submit an application. However it was a finalist (even made it into the top three, which helps matters some but I'm unable to locate who won, which is what ultimately matters with awards. However, there's also the issue of whether or not an award given by an independent portion of TED is notable enough to give partial notability, but we'll cross that bridge if I can find anything to show that it won. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:02, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While the idea behind this is a good one and I solidly wish it'd received more coverage, unfortunately it never received anything beyond the TedxAmsterdam nod, which cannot show notability since it's just a nomination. It received a brief mention in Baaz, but only an offhand mention in regards to the award ceremony, which isn't enough. As far as I can tell, this project is still under development, so hopefully in the future it'll receive more coverage, but right now it's just far WP:TOOSOON for it to have an entry.

  • Comment - Mr Gianluca Minieri recently has been nominated most influential trader in the financial Markets and is a vital source for Finance Universities to understand the work mr Minieri has done and must have a knowledge of him as an individual and his background as a university course requirement. Furthermore Mr Gianluca has been featured on Bloomberg financial magazines almost every month now and is a key topic for financial researchers and Bankers. His work has a an immediate effect on the global markets of Asia, Europe and America. He is a key individual with more then sufficient references of importance through the hundreds of interviews and Financial newspapers and magazine interviews on such well known website like Trading Desk, Bloomberg and many others. Interviewers and journalist find great use in this page in order to understand his work carried out. Likewise we, the university association of Finance request that this page is kept as wikipedia is a source of great importance to our alumni and Mr Gianluca is a key element in not only student research but Working colleagues and financial market associates as a whole. Thank you Please note all research was done from articles and references are currently published and researched.

  • Comment - It is an obvious fact that articles will be partially talking about Mr Minieri as he is not a singer or actor but Executive vice president and global head of Trading In a trading bank. in the world of finance magazines rely on multiple opinions of traders but Mr Minieri has been nominated One of the most influential traders of 2015 making him a key subject in the study of finance and the markets. No banker or in fact trader will have an article of his own as for people in the banking industry there is no interest in an extremely long biography but rather on the individual as well as his work and opinions of others. This Article is key in the studies of Journalists for interviews, students at university level and traders. As you can see if you were to read articles about other top traders on wikipedia trivial mentions will always be the case but for sure to not signify non importance of an individual as in Trading magazines like Bloomberg where mr minieri was featured It is a normal custom to talk partially about him/her. The links and references are for use of confirming the status of the individual like mr Minieri and confirming the claimed work he has done. Furthermore Financial magazines like Bloomberg do not decide to write articles regarding any person but only key individuals of interest which is why Mr Minieri was Chosen. With no doubt I support that this article should be kept and all required information was provided in order to keep it active. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by YourJames100 (talkcontribs) 14:09, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -There are not only trivial mentions but if someone actually went through the links it would be very obvious that that is not the case. All references are current and active, they are genuine from large important publishers. there are articles about Mr Minieri only. Wikipedia is a place where articles for use of students and professionals must be uploaded which can be of their interest and of use. We for a fact know this individual is a key source of research in the financial market. I would like to bring this matter forward to a supervisor possibly as I do feel this time there is absolutely no attempt to take my request and opinion into consideration nor anyone is actually reading what I am writing. I think this ignorant attitude from wikipedia is shameful and as a major supporter and donator the site I think it is a shameful behaviour and I will be talking to the university association in order to bring consequences forward in terms of stop donations. Subsequently what I am saying is not that someone can upload what he/she wants when he/she makes donations but in my case I am responsible of teaching finance, I have included all needed and required references, and I know this individual is key in the financial market, I should have the right to upload this article. It is not my fault that whom is in the office like the wikipedia administrators have no knowledge of bankers and traders but it is understandable as you work in a different sector. As much as you people know about Justin Bieber and other singers and actors, for us these are our individuals of importance which benefit hundreds of people and it is unfair that working people an students must suffer consequences of the lack of knowledge regarding these individuals from wikipedia. I wish you take this matter forward if possible with whoever is responsible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YourJames100 (talkcontribs) 19:41, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Do you really think making threats will help you case? There are no supervisors in Wikipedia, this is a community driven encyclopedia. If you are not aware of that I would question your knowledge and subsequent "donations" to Wikipedia. Since you created the article, you have the WP:BURDEN to provide reliable support for the article, something you have failed to do. I would also strongly suggest you read WP:UNCIVIL and WP:LEGAL before responding further. reddogsix (talk) 22:39, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - There is no threat being made, your lack of knowledge is a threat to this site. This is perfect proof that you do not read what I am writing.

  • On the one hand, I'm seeing good secondary sources which reference Minieri as an expert, but on the other these tend to be brief mentions and I've not been able to find anything particularly substantive which suggests he is specifically notable as an individual.

With all honesty I dont still understand what else wikipedia could possibly want. Mr minieri is a banker and trader, not a singer or actor. It is very different in terms of searching for sources. The amount of sources this page has are mpre then can be found onany banker and in my opinion do demonstarte his status and importance. On the other hand this article is of great use to students like us. What else can be done, can you kindly look for links as well to help keep this page up. We really need it.

  • I'm leery of the United States Dance Championships claim. It's backed up by a press release that just states "Tytus Bergstrom, former U.S Latin Dance Champion" and not much else about him - it's not even about the USDC. This means that it's entirely possible that what he won wasn't even through the USDC, which is possible given that there are a lot of similarly titled competitions out there - anyone who has ever participated in a beauty pageant AfD can vouch for this. I also cannot find anything while searching for his name and the name of the competition. There are plenty of primary sources from Bergstrom himself and from places that have hired him, but I can't actually find anything from USDC and I can't see his name listed on their website anywhere. This means that for all practical purposes we have to consider this claim as one that cannot show notability. Other than that, the article claims that he taught notable people, however that in and of itself doesn't always guarantee notability - the big thing about this is that you have to show where his teaching was notable by way of multiple independent RS that discuss him. The only non-primary source in the article is from the Spartan Daily, a college newspaper. The link isn't showing up properly, but a look through the Wayback Machine shows that it was a passing, trivial mention in regards to a dancing competition that occurred on campus. College newspapers are occasionally usable if they're known for being very reliable, however even then the coverage would need to be secondary and in-depth. A passing mention in an article about something that happened on campus does not accomplish this. I'm still digging for sources, so it's still possible I might find something out there, though.

  • Delete, possible redirect. I can find nothing out there to show that Bergstrom is notable for his dancing career. He has one film under his belt that is notable, the Lovecraft film, but at this point in time he lacks coverage for anything else that would show notability. There are one or two brief mentions here and there in relation to something else, but never in any context that would establish notability for him as a performer or educator. It's possible that there is coverage out there that predates the Internet given that the most notable portions of his career occurred during '92 and '93, but if it exists it's fairly well buried and there's nothing recording any of this other than Bergstrom himself or his representatives. Even a search on Highbeam brings up nothing, as does a search via Drexel's library database. We could redirect to the article for the Lovecraft film, but the question here is whether or not it's really worth redirecting or not. Redirects are cheap, but I've heard the argument that it doesn't really help much unless the role is particularly well known. I figure I'll leave that up for the closing admin. Either way, the promotional nature of the article makes me believe that its history should be deleted prior to this redirect's creation. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:55, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Winning in the amateur category of that dance championship does not appear to confer notability. If every amateur participant and winner of every competition of this ilk had an article, we'd already have been overrun by the sheer volume of profiles on the project. If appearing in In Search of Lovecraft is their only other claim to fame, that to me indicates failure of notability too. It was so poorly received and so minimally distributed, that again, if every person with a significant role in every film of similar standing had an article, the whole encyclopaedia would effectively be an imdb-esque directory with a little bit of side content.

  • Unlike Douglas Park (Langley), this one does seem to be considerably better sourced — even stretching into published books and extralocal media. While it's true that not all municipal parks get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because they exist, they are allowed if you can make and source a substantive claim of notability — and with nine valid citations to a variety of sources, this one does have a valid WP:GNG claim to being at least somewhat more notable than the norm. As problematic as Neelix's Tara Teng obsession could be, not everything he did was always without justification — each situation needs to be evaluated on its own merits, rather than being automatically shitcanned just because Neelix.

  • Our notability standards for city parks do allow some of them to make it into Wikipedia (for example, nobody would ever seriously suggest that we delete topics like Central Park, Stanley Park, Gorky Park, High Park or the Jardin des Champs-Élysées) — but they don't grant an automatic inclusion freebie to all municipal parks that can be shown to exist. But in this case there's no real claim of notability being made once you discount Neelix's misguided attempt to bestow notability on every single topic he could link in any way whatsoever to Tara Teng, and the level of sourcing is not adequate to fulfill WP:GNG.

This article is not an encyclopedic entry, but ultimately an advertisement for a commercial product. ViperSnake151  Talk  00:53, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the article describes a properly-cited clinical technique with multiple reliable sources. It is therefore notable regardless of the apparent COI of the article's author and the fact that the two models of equipment mentioned are made by the same company. Clearly this feels somewhat uncomfortable but the topic is encyclopedic nonetheless. Someone did give the author a COI notice a year after he wrote the article; and as it happens he did contribute to related topics (not products) as well.

Just not seeing any significant independent coverage, or anything that would help this subject meet a specific notability guideline. EricEnfermero (Talk) 00:51, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am not exactly sure what you mean by significant independent coverage. But by notability, are you saying the article does not refer to a notable person? Because I think it does. Also, as this is my first Wikipedia article, I would have been mindful of choosing a username. I created this account for the purpose of this article. Hence, the username. I am not Scott Isbell.Swisbell (talk) 01:03, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, notability is the Wikipedia concept of who we should cover with an encyclopedia article and who we shouldn't. One of the neat things is that notability isn't just left up to opinion; we have some guidelines that can help to make that call. The general notability guideline (WP:GNG) is the easiest guideline to keep in mind, but there are also some specific guidelines for various types of people. WP:NMUSIC seems to apply in this case, but I can't determine how this subject would meet WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. EricEnfermero (Talk) 01:15, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Just a heads up that I removed a lot of the article content because it was copied verbatim from the subject's website.

I look forward to your response.Akinlosotu (talk) 19:39, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Re: criterion 1, I'm not sure that anything here really represents significant coverage. IMDB usually doesn't meet that standard, and neither would any of the content generated by Isbell or his associates (Talented Kids Depot, Niji Magazine, the Isbell website). Ralan Enterprises also seems to cover artists who solicit their coverage. School coverage (two of the sources) usually doesn't meet this criterion. The Boston Globe source seems promising, but it's very short and I think it's difficult to call that non-trivial. Re: criterion 5, the article doesn't suggest that Isbell has released two albums.
It's difficult to really compare this entry with those of other musicians, because we know there are other entries that also don't meet these notability criteria. The idea is that, as an encyclopedia, WP covers subjects that are already notable. It's just not the appropriate outlet for budding artists who are in need of help with SEO or PR in order to become notable. EricEnfermero (Talk) 09:26, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Akinlosotu (talk) 09:37, 4 December 2015 (UTC) I mis-cited criterion 5. I meant to cite criterion 4. <Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.> I believe this buttresses the Boston Globe source. Also, you mentioned before that there are certain guidelines for notability on WP, and cited references to buttress your point. Also, according to WP Guidelines, I wouldn't say the Boston Globe source is too short; it is a reliable source, and based on WP guidelines and guidelines at WP:MUSIC, I believe it passes this article for notability. Akinlosotu (talk) 09:37, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Boston Globe source is not covering a national/international concert tour. It's very briefly covering Isbell's plans for his first festival performance. EricEnfermero (Talk) 09:49, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly note that you're overstating how "referenced" the article really is. There isn't, for example, a single reference to The Guardian anywhere in the article; that publication is mentioned only as the provider of a POV review quote which is sourced nowhere, and doesn't actually belong in our article at all per our rules about not turning the article into an advertisement for the subject instead of an encyclopedia article about the subject. Art Fund is a charitable organization, not media. Creative Tourist and The Reviews Hub and Manchester Wire fail our rules against sourcing to blogs. The reference to The Hindu isn't about him; it just mentions his name a single time as a passing namecheck in an article that's actually about somebody else. And on and so forth — nothing here comes anywhere near as close to being "reliable source media coverage" as you seem to think it does. Bearcat (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat Seems a bit harsh. Presumably the Guardian think he is notable enough to mention an exhibition he is involved in. I agree it isn't enough, but it isn't nothing either (given that there are a lot of exhibitions which could be mentioned, and they've mentioned these). I don't think an article in a well-known media source which is written by journalists and is not an "opinion piece" can be considered to be a "POV article". Of course, one can disagree with the authors that this exhibition is notable, but the fact is that writers for this newspaper working in the normal editorial system think that this artist is notable. That meets the standard for independent assessment of notability. JMWt (talk) 08:38, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're completely missing the point of what I even said about The Guardian: the most important point, the one you didn't address here at all, is that no reference details have been cited to verify that they really published the claimed content — it's just plopped into the article as an unsourced quote. Which means we can't verify whether it was made in an actual article about him, in a 50-word "things to do this weekend" blurb, as an aside in an article about somebody else, or what. And as an encyclopedia, we're not all that interested in the opinions that reviewers have expressed about the quality of his work anyway, but in what media have or haven't published about the objective facts of his career — because a Wikipedia article is not allowed to read like a public relations advertisement. And the standard for "independent assessment of notability" is that he has to be the subject of substantive coverage (not passing mentions in coverage of other things, not ten word review quotes, but substantive coverage) in multiple reliable sources (not just one). But the sourcing that's been proffered here so far fails to demonstrate that at all — it takes more than "has had his name mentioned in major newspapers" to get a person into Wikipedia. Bearcat (talk) 14:33, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive me, I don't understand. I'm not here talking about how a quote from the Guardian piece has been used in on the page, but the fact that the Guardian article exists. Which it does. And no, we're not just interested in the "objective facts of his career" primarily, but whether this artist is notable enough to have a wikipedia page about him. One criteria for the latter decision is whether he is noted in the media, and clearly this is a note in the media about his exhibition. It is clearly also more than a "mention" given it is a review of his exhibition with the clear implication that readers might like to go and witness his exhibition. That in and of itself is a claim to notability. Not enough on its own, I agree, but certainly something pointing toward it. JMWt (talk) 15:22, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And what you've shown there is an 85-word blurb about him, which does not constitute substantive coverage. And every art exhibition that exists at all will be believed by somebody as something that "readers might like to go and witness" — but that's not a thing that entitles a person to a Wikipedia article, because it's a subjective statement of opinion. Our inclusion criteria are based on objective and quantifiable achievements, such as winning notable art awards or being the subject of enough media coverage that the person has satisfied WP:GNG, not just the ability to demonstrate that the person exists. But an 85-word blurb constitutes evidence of existence, not evidence of notabilityespecially if that 85-word blurb is the most solid source anywhere in the entire article.

After having researched this artist's work and read all his publications at the British Library and Live Art Development Agency's study room, it is evident how extensively his work has been written about by eminent scholars and academics. Cornerhouse publications have a significant book in the pipeline to be published this year celebrating his work over the last 20 years through a collection of essays and reflections.[2] LADA is also releasing a DVD of his video works. The artist was nominated for the Northern Art prize in 2010. Notability is surely about contribution to knowledge rather than media endorsements alone. User:Samueljervois

Certainly time for another AfD as my searches found nothing better than some passing mentions and even the listed sources are simply passing mentions themselves. The first AfD comments mentioned the label being notable but from what I've understood, it seems more like an obscure independent label which I've now PRODed as well after finding no better improvement.

  • Keep per Stifle and Blackmetalbaz at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waylander (band), who wrote that the band passes WP:MUSIC by having albums on Century Media, Listenable and Blackend, all of which are notable.

    Here is a source about the subject:

    • Patterson, Dayal (2013). Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult. New York: Feral House. p. 410. ISBN 1936239760. Retrieved 2015-12-22.

      The book notes:

      Though Norway dominated folk black metal during the nineties, Ireland, another country with a rich history of folklore and folk music, also made something of a name for itself during this decade. Primordial, Cruachan, and Waylander are three respected Irish acts offering folk-influenced metal compositions, though it is undoubtedly Primordial who have maintained the closest relationship to black metal, to the extent that 1995 debut Imrama had only a few musical and thematic hints toward folk content.

      Although this is a passing mention, that the author called "Waylander" a "respected Irish act" that offered "folk-influenced metal compositions" strongly indicates that the band likely has received significant coverage in reliable offline metal magazines.

@Arxiloxos: Each of the different "Bottom 10" iterations you have identified above are discretely different subjects, not a single "Bottom 10". Some "Bottom 10" subjects may be notable, others not. It does not appear there are sufficient significant coverage in independent reliable sources of ESPN's "Bottom 10" to support its notability, and some mention of it may be incorporated into the ESPN article. Likewise, if Sport Illustrated sports columnist Steve Harvey is notable, perhaps some mention of his "Bottom 10" column would be best incorporated there. Slamming this different subjects together in a single article is a mess, more like a disambiguation page than an article. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:35, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's incorrect and misstates the sources. As spelled out in the sources I cited, Steve Harvey was an LA Times reporter who began his Bottom 10 in the 1960s, then began syndicating it. It was not a Sports Illustrated product. Independent coverage is here. The current ESPN column is (self-admittedly) a rendition of the same concept as Harvey's column. There's a clear topic here and it doesn't serve the reader to bury it. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:18, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Arxiloxos: My apologies. Please substitute Los Angeles Times (and Chicago Sun-Times) for Sports Illustrated in my comment above, and the basic premise still holds: what significant coverage in independent sources there is of the "Bottom 10" is about Steve Harvey's column, not about ESPN's "Bottom 10". Yes, one of your linked articles incidentally mentions ESPN, but the subject of the article is Colorado, not ESPN's "Bottom 10". This article hopelessly confuses Steve Harvey's probably notable "Bottom 10" sports column with ESPN's non-notable bit, which is admittedly a rip-off of Harvey's column. You are conflating two completely different subjects of the same name; they are not the same thing. To emphasize that point, according to one of the articles you linked above, Harvey apparently restarted his "Bottom 10" column in 2008, and it was not the same as ESPN's "Bottom 10". Having a single Wikipedia article for Steve Harvey's column (which is barely mentioned) and ESPN's schtick (for which no significant independent coverage exists) is a promotional mess. Virtually all of the coverage of the ESPN schtick is -- wait for it -- on ESPN or ESPN.com, and that's not independent coverage. If you want to keep this article title, it needs to be blown up and re-written as an article about Steve Harvey's column, not sourced with ESPN's non-independent, self-promotional coverage of itself. If you believe otherwise, please link to significant coverage of ESPN's "Bottom 10" in independent sources (i.e., those sources that are non affiliated with ESPN, ESPN.com, ABC, Disney, etc.).
